However, at 22 Pogba is the seasoned campaigner of Juve’s French contingent, with 19-year-old prodigy Kingsley Coman following a similar route to Turin as his compatriot.

The versatile attacker is a product of the Paris Saint-Germain youth academy and rose through the French club’s youth ranks and into first-team contention as a teenager.

Coman became PSG’s youngest-ever player when he made his Ligue 1 debut at 16, while he has been a starlet that the French age-grade levels have fast-tracked over the years.

The exciting attacker earned more than 30 caps as part of his European nation’s youth ranks from under-16 to under-21 level, and up until he left the Parc des Princes was regarded as one of France’s brightest young prospects.

However, out of contract at PSG and facing the prospect of contesting a first-team spot with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimović and Edinson Cavani, Coman made the choice to end a ten-year affiliation with the capital city side in 2014.

Like in the case of Pogba, Juve moved quickest to snatch up the young prodigy and immediately made him part of their senior squad.

Over the course of last season, Coman was used predominantly as a substitute and alternative for Carlos Tevez, injecting speed and energy to the Italian side’s attack when called upon. He also made an appearance from the bench in Juve’s Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.

Although he only started five Serie A games in his debut campaign with Max Allegri’s men, the Frenchman showed enough potential and ability to suggest he had a bright future with Juventus.

Coman has also made the natural progression from the French under-21 set-up into the senior squad, with it looking like the 19-year-old will be a feature of Les Bleus’ squad for next summer’s Euro 2016 tournament on home soil.

Juventus’ quick thinking to sign both Pogba and Coman on free transfers will surely have the Serie A side much richer when the pair inevitably leave Turin for good.

However, the 19-year-old has been thriving at Bayern Munich, one of the best teams in world football, and as such it suggests that the Italians have let Coman leave the club way too early.
